| Research Abstract |
Besides being a painting material, natural Japanese lacquer called URUSHI is a form-making material. Its diverse character has been reevaluated in recent years therefore gathering URUSHI and its production are being reopened in Japan. The method called KANSHITSU is a way of making forms by using composite material consisting natural fiber such as hemp for the structure and URUSHI as a resin. This method has same principle as FRP (Fiber-Reinforced Plastic) and Japanese people were hundred of years ahead of their time in the way they worked on KANSHITSU before the invention of FRP in the twentieth century. Also meaning as a recycling natural material is expected. This research reveals the possibility of KANSHITSU being able to substitute FRP by an experiment to test the structural physical properties of KANSHITSU as a natural composite material and also reports the process of designing and fabricating a monocoque-structured chair that is made by the method of traditional KANSHITSU.
